Gem-N-Me offers literacy help disguised as fun. Girls are invited to be a part of the podcast entitled "Crystal Clear" by Gem-N-Me. Students will read a blog post about something that is relevant to their lives- bullying, self-esteem, beauty, etc. and discuss it on the podcast. Reading the blogs will help to increase the girl's vocabulary and background knowledge about a topic. Discussing the topic helps with interpersonal skills. Being literate is in the intersection of being able to read, write and speak. This podcast will also help get girls from behind their phones and start talking to people, which will help with their relationships-romantic and familial.
Gem-N-Me also has a book club to help improve literacy skills and ignite the love of reading. So often, students are given books in school that they are not interested in, but the book club will give girls fiction books of various topics. For girls that are interested, we will show them how to write a book to fill the niche gap of what they would like to see on the market.
In addition to these newer programs, Gem-N-Me continues to offer the entrepreneurship program "Girls Earning Money," which helps girls start their business journey. Sessions include tea making, candle making, cupcake decorating, financial literacy, branding, and marketing.
